Volume One, Chapter 90: Past Events

During that period, the young secretary brought her child to the Xiao household every day, causing a constant uproar and turning their home upside down. His wife, troubled by the incident, soon fell gravely ill and eventually passed away, her illness beyond cure. Seeing this, the young secretary seemed to realize the situation had spiraled out of control; she abandoned Xiao Xingrong at his doorstep and fled.

Today, Han Feng had just finished listening to a professor’s lecture on hypnosis and was reflecting on the lesson’s content when his phone rang. Hua Yuye skillfully shifted the conversation to ease the earlier tension, guiding everyone to think along her lines, and subtly affirming Guo Xiangyi’s thoughts. She avoided the difficult points and led the group forward step by step.

Only now did she realize how wrong her assumptions had been. If trouble arose, who could guarantee she would return to the modern era? Who would believe her soul came from the twenty-first century?

Two years after that man’s death, the Aike tribe finally gathered all their people, inviting the Lava tribe to join them on a blazing journey.

At that moment, a system message finally arrived, announcing that Tiger-Leopard Village in the neighboring settlement had been upgraded to a medium-sized village.

“Young one obeys!” Feng Wuchen bowed respectfully, his heart full of gratitude for Hong Zhao’s parents’ trust and importance. He silently vowed to protect Hong Zhao with his life.

“This... Thank you, Your Grace...” Xiang Keyu felt both joy and worry. She was glad to receive VIP treatment at the Xi Teng Teahouse, but troubled that this was not what she hoped for. What she truly wanted was to use the future wife of the Fourth Prince to meet him—the man destined to become Emperor Yongzheng.

The myriad worlds—an apt description for countless realms—has been known since the birth of heaven and earth. People were aware of other worlds, like the ghost realm, the immortal realm, and the Nine Nether Demon realm. However, each world was sealed by an immense barrier, one that ordinary immortals could never break.

Both sides of the street had been swept clean and sprinkled with water; even as the army marched through, not a speck of dust would rise.

Dark, oppressive clouds silently gathered, and a destructive force spread forth. In the valley, every ghostly creature, sensing this power, was terrified, cowering on the ground and trembling.

“Ah, brother-in-law, there’s no need for this. As long as you entrust your sister to me, I’ll treat her well,” said a man in official robes.

Chu Yun smiled and shook his head, then opened a cloth pouch attached to the bottle. He poured out three pills and shared them among the three.

Frankly, his three brothers had not investigated anything yet. After all, if he really wanted to look into it, would he still regard them as brothers?

“Do you have any clothes? If I go out looking like this, people might think I’ve been assaulted,” Tang Shaoling said helplessly.

This was feasible. Chu Yun, through his Eye of the Undead, contacted Ling’er, asking her to summon Ming Yue and simply add a gravity field to the training room in this house.

It would be better to take the initiative, expose the matter first, and make it clear to everyone: Li Xuan had indeed been poisoned by a Gu spell, but it had already been lifted. As Meng Han, attendant to the Southern Border princess, his presence was proof enough. No matter what Northern Yan tried, the people of Donghua would not be shaken.

Fujiwara Ue spoke, “Do you know who we are? Tanoshita Genmu is a special superior ninja! You must be a member of the Yanhuang Dragon Guards. Release me, and I won’t hold it against you.” Fujiwara Ue declared proudly.

But she misunderstood; that night, Chu Yun took them aboard the giant submarine turtle and plunged into the sea, never stopping at the coast.

No one knew what remedy Yu Wei’s gourd held; for a moment, all fell silent, watching Yu Wei’s actions with unwavering attention.
